          It’s just them moving their accounts to be cloud accounts instead of local accounts.

          That sucks, but they’ve been pushing for that since Windows 7 I think?

            I think that started on Win8 and fully implemented on Win10. I don’t remember Win7 have this BS. At least not obvious that makes me remember if they have.

              Yeah, I haven’t used Windows for like 15 years, so I don’t remember exactly when they started pushing for cloud accounts. But it’s not new with Windows 11, it’s been their focus for at least 10 years now.
